For years, Phi Gamma Delta has called a house on Mesa Vista Road home and headquarters for its fraternity, but a new owner bought the frat house and wants them out.

"There was an eviction letter on our door, and we were surprised," Phi Gamma Delta President Reyes De La Cruz said.

A dozen fraternity members who live in the house are moving out. Phi Gamma Delta doesn't have much time to move, they have to be out by this Tuesday.

"Its been a shakeup. We've been here for years and years. Over a few years, we accumulate a few things and its been an effort to get things where they need to be," De La Cruz said.

At UNM, most fraternities and sororities don't have a house on campus like the Fiji house. But the president said they will make the most of this move and maybe one day they will get to rent the house out again

"I think they are going to turn it into on-campus housing. They may rent it back to us. We are not exactly sure what is going to happen. But, it was a sorority house before, then a fraternity house. So, its been through a lot of transition as it is," De La Cruz said.

For now, the fraternity will keep a positive outlook.

"What's great about a fraternity is you have your friends with you wherever you go.It's been a lot of effort,but its actually not been bad getting to meet people you wouldn't ordinarily meet. I think its been good as well. It could be a blessing in disguise," De La Cruz said.

It's a blessing that is forcing members to squeeze into a dorm together, for now.

Action 7 News wanted to talk to the new owner, but no one knows who it is. UNM officials say an out-of-state investment firm sold the home to an investment firm in Albuquerque.
